The sort-of-screaming Janelle Monae goes into at the end of Come Alive is the definition of blood-curdling. I mean that in a really, really good way.

Exactly. Notice how when he's alone with Dorothy he lets her seduce him and tells her what she wants to hear, but when Sandy sees her come onto him, he can't bring himself to say anything, because it's only then he realizes this isn't a sultry femme fatale, this is a desperate, disturbed woman seeking any sort of…

Wild Guess: spoon-related music had its peak in Medieval France.

I've been listening to Diane Coffee's album My Friend Fish, and I just can't get over how beautiful some of the melodies are. All the Young Girls is probably my favorite track, but they all measure up.

Part of what's so despairing about it is that Jeffrey honestly cannot do that much to liberate Dorothy, no matter what her perception of him is. He's barely an adult that can't fully understand how broken she is, and the only reason he's able to do anything is because of the sheer luck he personally knows a police…

Not sure if moving into a college dorm counts as househunting, but I discovered that the dorm room I'll be moving into in a couple weeks is built for six people, which means I'll be living with five roomates for the next nine months or so. Coincidentally, five also happens to be the number of hours of sleep I expect…

Would it be hyperbole to call it the best spoon-centric song in music history? I don't think there's much competition, though I'd be very curious to know if there is…

I just watched Blue Velvet for the first time, and holy shit why hasn't David Lynch made a movie since 2006? I understand the complaints about the treatment of Isabella Rossellini's character, but if that's enough to turn you off the movie, you're doing nothing but depriving yourself.

I got halfway through your comment and was like who the fuck wrote this shit and then I scrolled back up and said of course

I'm glad I'm not the only one to have noticed the Welles comparison. God forbid it, but if they ever remake The Third Man…

I'd like to think it wasn't Scorsese or DiCaprio's involvement that got it greenlit, it was the murder castle that piqued everyone's interest.

now I'm not trying to say that a handsome physical appearance makes you any less of a fucked up serial killer, and I'm a heterosexual male, but if Bundy really was a monster in a person suit, well then frankly he chose a damn good suit.

I wanna recommend Town & Country. It's a mess tone-wise, and it's got enough names in it they should have fun.

One of the pluses in YMRT's case is Larina Longworth will describe more than one person's perspective, and then give her own view on which his more likely.

I think the key to 2001 is to see it in a theater, or at least some sort of large screen. No phones or other distractions, and you're completely engrossed in the slow-burning intensity and magnificent visuals.

Counterpoint: Jennifer Lawrence's Philadelphia sports speech to Robert De Niro.

Same. I was literally preparing to put Night and Day on and cry. Now that I know it's this scumbag, I'm just going to listen to Night and Day and forget I heard about this.

Why do people feel the need to pit Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump against each other? I get it, they came out the same year, but they're two radically different types of movies, each with their own virtues. Comparing them, regardless of who's on top, is pointless. It's like asking if Ready to Die is better than The…
